"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

Paying an "international design firm" any amount of money to design anything is impressively stupid if you have the ability to crowd source it to a massive amount of incredibly talented, interested, and invested people, i.e. the Big Ten community at large.

Just remove the negative space 11 (very easy to do) and keep the old one, especially if this is the best they can come up with.

I don't see why they feel compelled to keep negative space in the new logo anyway. If they aren't going to have a 12 somewhere in the logo, there is absolutely no need for negative space. The fact that they have it and that it redundantly represents another "ten" is just ridiculous.

These moving pictures have helped me a great deal in understanding the development of these plays, both on offense and defense. Brian's picture pages are awesome, but there's something about seeing all the stuff in between that clicks with me.

Some turnovers would help. This team hasn't gotten a single turnover in the last three games. If we can win a couple turnover battles in the final four games, I think we have a good shot at 7-5 and a bowl.

It's just a slight nudge in the balls.
Y'all don't realize
how sensitive nuts are, do you?
Men don't like to hear a threat like that.
You hear somebody:
"I'll kick you in the nuts."
It make you wince, be like:
"Change the subject, please."
You don't have to kick
no nuts to hurt nobody.
You could just graze nuts.
And the man would be fucked up.
And that pain is worse, because
it don't set in for, like, ten seconds.
You be wondering if it's gonna hurt.
You say, "I wonder,
did that hit my nuts, just...?"
You don't have to kick.
You could just graze it.

Please let the offense fire on all cylinders such that this becomes moot. Please let the D-Line and linebackers play with such ferocious desire that opposing QBs have no time to victimize our depleted secondary. Please let the next Charles Woodson rise and terrorize the Big Ten in his freshman year (I'm looking at you, Cullen).

Also, just please.

[I fear we may be dealing with the result of a deal with the devil. Nearly 40 years of success. Most of us are too young to remember a time when Michigan was this low. I just hope two years of suck and pain are enough to satisfy the karmic debt.]

As long as the end-of-season captains are elected before the bowl game then they are still in a position to lead for a very important game of the year. And if the season goes well, it could be the most important game of the year.

There are tons of RSS readers out there and I'm sure there is some open-source RSS code that can be plugged into the Blogroll.

Take the data gathered from the RSS feed for all the blogs and order it by date of the most recent post.

If you want to get really fancy, you can track whether an mgoblog user has clicked on that link since it was updated and have unvisited blogs with new posts be set in bold for that user (same as Google Reader).

Even better was that the game wouldn't have even been close if Hart doesn't commit those two fumbles. (Pre-neg disclaimer: I am not disparaging Hart. I love me some Hart. Just pointing out the game could have been in hand well before Florida's final drive.)

That said, that bowl was easily one of the greatest and most enjoyable games I've ever watched as a Michigan fan.

I'll be buying a copy for myself, my brother-in-law, and my dad as soon as I get back to Michigan. Can't wait to read it and for the season to start.

I haven't talked to him about it, but I fear my pops my be anti-RR. Mostly because he lives in the Detroit area and has a Freep subscription. He may have been unwittingly swayed to the dark side by some unscrupulous reporting. I believe HTTV 2010 can cure him of such negative thinking.

...there is no beating one of their burritos when you're blacked out of your gourd.

You've clearly never been to the Mission district in San Francisco. Think BTB, but 10 times better. I've been away from SF for the last 8 months and I literally dream about the super burritos. I'd punch my own mother for one right now.

BTB wasn't around when I was at Michigan, but I had the opportunity to try it last summer while visiting family. Doesn't hold a candle to, say, El Farolito at Mission and 24th St. If you are in San Francisco, the super burrito in the Mission is a must-have.

I've been living outside the midwest for the last decade (San Francisco), so I always reserve an enthusiastic Go Blue for anyone I seeing wearing the maize and blue. Although, you'd be surprised how many midwesterners congregate here.

I've been traveling in other countries (SE Asia & India) for the last 4 months and plan to continue for the next five, and I've seen the block M a few times so far. Unfortunately, I have only received confused looks so far when I shout out the Michigan greeting.

I don't know why domers keep harping on this touchdown being called back. If it had stood, the universe would have branched into a new reality where the rest of the game would not have happened as it did. The 4 point difference in this case is moot.

In this parallel universe, Michigan may have still won. Maybe by even more.

Think of it this way: If, instead of being in the mood, your mom had a headache the night you were conceived you would not exist.

IOW, get over it. Be happy you exist and that you were witness to one of the greatest games this rivalry has ever produced.

I first heard about the Freep practice allegations very late Sunday night. When I woke up the next morning and saw him tearing up on Sportscenter, my sleep-addled brain initially thought he had been fired.

From now on, if I hear anyone say that so-and-so isn't a Michigan Man, I will ask them to define it. If I don't like their answer, I'm going to stab them in the belly button (and refer them to this post).
